Hi Everyone!
Today's workout is fun! This is a full body workout, using a stability (or exercise) ball. The balance required with a stability ball, adds an extra element of challenge to this workout.
If you find it difficult to maintain your balance it's okay. With practice your core strength will increase, and you will find the different positions easier to maintain.
For me the biggest challenge was holding the balance during mountain climbers on the ball. You can start by holding a plank, and work your way up to the mountain climbers.
As always, focus on form, and utilizing the movement's full range of motion.
Enjoy the workout!

ReplyDeleteWhat is the size of the stability ball that you are using , the one I gave is too big for most of the exercises your doing.
